Patty’s Oak by louannwarren

Patty’s Oak

I took this photo this morning before we left Lubbock, I loved the early morning sun on the tree. My niece Patty planted the acorn this tree grew from when she was in the first grade, in 1965. It is 56 years old now, Sue and I measured around the trunk this morning. It’s circumference is 120”! The last time we were in Lubbock, two years ago, we were there to attend Patty’s funeral. The tree means so much to all of us.
I love this photo and all that it means to your family! The light on it is beautiful!
